“…With regard to socio-economic status, children were categorized into two groups: BPL (below the poverty line) and non-BPL, based on the BPL card provided by the central government of India. All the data were immediately recorded on a microcomputer (14), and the data were transferred to a host computer and processed using SPSS v11.0.…”

The present cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of caries and treatment needs among 127 institutionalized subjects aged 5-22 years attending a special school for students with hearing impairment in Udaipur City, Rajasthan, India. The data were collected using the methods and standards recommended by the WHO for oral health surveys, 1997. Dentition status and treatment needs along with DMFT, DMFS, dmft, dmfs were recorded using a Type III examination procedure. ANOVA, chisquared test and multiple regression analysis were conducted using the SPSS software package (version 11.0). The mean DMFT was 2.61. Of the 127 subjects, 111 (87.4 %) needed treatment. Filling of one tooth surface was necessary for 79.5% of the subjects. Pulp treatment was needed in less than 7%. There was a high prevalence (83.92%) of decayed teeth, whereas only 7.14% of subjects had filled teeth. Multiple regression analysis showed that DMFT had a close association with age. Linear regression analysis revealed that age explained a variance of 32% and 25.4% for DMFT and dmft respectively The findings of this study demonstrate that young people with impaired hearing in this region have a high prevalence of dental caries, poor oral hygiene, and extensive unmet needs for dental treatment. This highly alarming situation requires immediate attention. (J. Oral Sci. 50, [161][162][163][164][165] 2008)

“…The epidemiologic studies concerning oral & general health, diseases, cancers and health awareness programmes have steadily increased within the past few years. The aims of such studies are diverse [1,2], with all these studies the intra-and interexaminer variabilities can be reduced if one standardizes not only the diagnostic criteria but also the recording methods [4,8,9]. Documenting the patient's chart, as an official office document includes all the treatment done and all patient-related communications that occur in the clinic.…”

“…Data is a set of values of qualitative and quantitative variables that gives details of a patient's management. They have the potential to provide a database for research, effective communication among health professionals towards quality of care assessments, defense against malpractice, improve the quality of health care and help control costs through improved efficiency [1,2]. The world's first data storage system was discovered about 5,500 years ago, at time when early cities were flourishing in Mesopotamia.…”

Aims & Objectives: The present study was intended to know the awareness about the recording and maintenance of patient data profile by the dental and medical clinicians. Materials & Methods: The study included google based survey analysis of questionnaire among the medical and dental clinicians. Twenty questionnaires related to knowledge, record maintenance and its advancements of collections were assessed. The answers were collected in tabulated data and statistical evaluation was done. Results: Of total 484 subjects, 131 were the dental clinicians and 353 were medical clinicians. Difference in the response was observed among the dental and medical clinicians. Data showed majority 76.86% were good in record maintenance, 10.74% were better and only 11.98% were considered to be very good. Conclusion: Records should be durable and accessible but safe from tampering or falsification. Also the medical and dental professionals should be stressed to use of health information systems for data management, to ensure the patients better health.

Background:Dental informatics is an evolving branch widely used in dental education and practice. Numerous applications that support clinical care, education and research have been developed. However, very few such applications are developed and utilized in the epidemiological studies of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) which is affecting a significant population of Asian countries.Aims and Objectives:To design and develop an user friendly software for the descriptive epidemiological study of OSF.Materials and Methods:With the help of a software engineer a computer program SOFPRO was designed and developed by using, Ms-Visual Basic 6.0 (VB), Ms-Access 2000, Crystal Report 7.0 and Ms-Paint in operating system XP. For the analysis purpose the available OSF data from the departmental precancer registry was fed into the SOFPRO.Results:Known data, not known and null data are successfully accepted in data entry and represented in data analysis of OSF. Smooth working of SOFPRO and its correct data flow was tested against real-time data of OSF.Conclusion:SOFPRO was found to be a user friendly automated tool for easy data collection, retrieval, management and analysis of OSF patients.
